Happy Anniversary


Yikes - if you can believe it - it is my 15th anniversary today! Mike is so many things to me - we've been together since I was 20 years old - I met Mike on the steps of the apartment building we both lived at - he was in the apartment right below mine in college.

We had a marathon wedding - it was amazing - it was a week of the worst storms in ages - it rained hard night and day for a week, including the day before and the day AFTER our wedding, surprisingly it didn't rain during the whole day when we got married. We were sealed in the Oakland Temple - Mike's parents & many of their friends had come from Utah for it. We had a ring ceremony right after our sealing, then a regular open reception for our friends and church friends. Then that night we had a big Chinese reception - one with 8 courses in the meal - and dancing - we went to Mexico for our Honeymoon and flew First Class (Mike worked for the airline back then) that was the first time anyone had called me Mrs.

The next week we flew to SLC and had our 3rd reception there. It all seems like a blur now, but we still have many friends that say it was the best week worth of celebrating they've done!

I'm so fortunate - Mike is the nicest person you will ever meet. He's romantic, athletic, intelligent, and so generous. I am so lucky to have found him, he is my best friend and my support and I'm so lucky to have built a family with him. How lucky for me we are together for eternity!
